The Denmark international, who has continually struggled with injuries since he joined the Anfield outfit in 2006, admitted that he "feared the worst" after a heavy collision with team-mate Glen Johnson.

Luckily for the 27-year-old, the impact wasn't as damaging as initially feared, allowing him to complete the full 90 minutes in Liverpool's 5-2 victory over Norwich City over Carrow Road.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Agger recalled: "I feared the worst when it happened. When I tried to get up the muscle in my knee just didn't work. I felt really unsteady and the medical staff thought I had done my ligaments.

"I thought it was a bad one and that I would be out for months. But, thankfully, it was just a really hard knock to the knee.

"I only started training again last Friday but I was fine for the Norwich game.

"I felt really comfortable and I'm enjoying it. I think I deserved a bit of luck after the problems I've had in the past."

Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick at Carrow Road as Liverpool secured their first Premier League win of the season and Agger said that the striker's showing almost left him speechless.

Agger added: "When Luis plays like that it's difficult to find the words to describe his performance.

"They were three great finishes and the quality he possesses is so good."
